Taxpayers Furious as New Jersey Unveils Costly Social Media Lab Critics Say Is Political Theater

New Jersey’s big-government machine is rolling again. This time, their latest bright idea is a flashy new “social media research facility,” cooked up by Democrat Governor Sherrill. They say it’s to “study” how apps like TikTok and Instagram make teens anxious or depressed. As if liberal politicians discovered these problems yesterday—when families have been ringing the alarm about Big Tech’s poison for years!

Liberals love to throw taxpayer money at “research” centers. But what happens when state bureaucrats line their pockets with your hard-earned dollars just to tell us obvious things? Social media is a mess for America’s youth. Our kids are hooked, facing nonsense from online predators, woke grooming, and anti-American propaganda. Now Sherrill and company finally pretend to care, as if more studies are all we’re missing. Government “solutions” never fixed moral decay—they just manufacture red tape.

Let’s not forget who boosted these Big Tech companies in the first place. The same crowd rushing to “study” the harm is the crowd that cheered Silicon Valley, cozied up to globalists, and censored conservatives. They had no problem when “fact-checkers” muzzled free speech or when TikTok pumped Chinese junk right into our children’s smartphones. But when the consequences hit too close to home, suddenly there’s panic in Trenton.

Why do liberals always need another committee, commission, or “facility” before they take action? Regular Americans already know social media is a minefield for young minds. Parents see kids glued to phones while politicians blather about data. The left’s “science first” mantra is just an excuse to delay, dodge responsibility, and toss stacks of taxpayer cash into yet another black hole.

Don’t be fooled by snazzy headlines or ribbon cuttings. If Democrats really cared about kids’ mental health, they’d rein in these tech giants—not study the issue until the cows come home. It’s more political theater from the same people who let Big Tech run wild. Are we destined for another pile of reports, or will the left finally grow a backbone and stand up to Silicon Valley before America’s next generation is lost?
